Manchester City Begins Foden Contract Talks

Manchester City management has initiated talks to extend Phil Foden's contract, despite his reduced role under manager Pep Guardiola this season. The England international still has a year remaining on his current deal, but the club is eager to secure his long-term future and is exploring an extension to his stay at the Etihad, according to The Times.

City still views Foden as a key player for the squad, even with increased competition for places. The English club's hierarchy has no intention of letting him leave, amidst ongoing interest from European giants like Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
